Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #255

 Hello, fellow crafty people! Can you believe it's already time for another challenge?? The time is flying by! My Dad always said, "The older you get the faster time goes by." And you know what? I believe him! It sure is going fast! My last grandchild will graduate this year.

The theme for our challenge at Crafty Gals Corner this month is: 

~ Anything Goes w/Twist being Add Lace &/or Pearls ~

 Our wonderful and very generous sponsor for this challenge is 

Moondrea Designs

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

For my card, I used the Gina Antoinette.  And here is what I did:

Isn't she lovely? I just love her! So for my colors, I used TriBlend from Spectrum Noir. These markers are awesome because they have a great solution for combining colors....from light to Dark. Hence the name.

I simply mounted her on a white cardstock and then onto the black, Then I added flat pearls for her jewelry and added a lace bow with a pearl button.

I hope you enjoy her and that you get some inspiration from her! Please head over to Crafty Gals Corner and join in on this fun challenge!

Blessings,

 Here at Crafty Gals Corner, the theme for this month is:

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room decor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

Colour of Love

Isn't she a real cutie?? I had a lot of fun with her....wait....I always say that! Lol! But I really do mean it! I just love digital images!

I used a set of markers that are new to me. They weren't expensive like some brands. These are called "ArtSkills Blendable Markers". They are really good!

So of course I started by printing the image, then colored it with the new markers. I mounted her on Creative Memories papers. Then I simply added a little decoration to it, and she was done! Simple, and yet I think she came out pretty good. 

I sure hope that you will join us for this awesome challenge! Anything Goes is a wide open crafty space full of ideas!

Thank you for stopping by,

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

I love the the fact that we can do anything for this project. So as I sat and pondered about it, what did I do? Ummm...another card! 😂 Here is my card:

Jeanie

Using:  Leprechaun Hat with Shamrocks

Pattie's Creations

As you can see, it wasn't the regular card I normally do. I'm not sure, but I think it's called a 3 panel trifold card. Anyway, it was very fun to do! 

There are a lot of tutorials out there to show how I made my catd (that's how I got it 😂). I did a lot of layering and I used a small heart punch to make the shamrocks. Also, I used my new set of markers by Artskills. I must tell you...they are GOOD markers! I love them!

I hope you will join us in this month's challenge! We love seeing the diversity of cards!

Have a blessed day!

Snowman - Winnie Angel

Polkadoodles

Isn't she a cutie?? I really wasn't sure what colors I wanted to do....until I saw my background papers! It just happened to work out, so I went with the flow of it. 

I went with my usual TriBlend Markers (LOVE them), and be tween the image and the designer paper, I used an acetate sheet with stars all over. And then of course, I matted it. 

If you're one of the unfortunate people who are stuck at home because of weather...come join our challenge! It'll keep your mind off that cold, cold weather!

Blessings and Happy Crafting!

Last Minute Manda

Prize ~ 3 Sets of Digis

Here is my card:

Here I'm using the Three Wise Men from Doctor Digi. I wasn't sure about the colors at first, but I thought they came out really good. 

For this challenge, I used my TriBlend markers, and the my white color pencil for the highlights. I then mounted it on some design paper and added to my white base. I added some rhinestones on top for the stars. 

It's really a basic card, but the colors give it the wow factor it needed. 

I do hope you join us for our last challenge of the year! And Merry Christmas! See you next year!
